Barely a week after the thrill of T/T's pairs bronze in Nice, Mervin Tran philosophized via Twitter, "If they say there's no rest for the wicked, then figure skating must be a nefarious sport; the reason why these past two seasons are so long."
He later elaborated, "Nothing bad has happened. Just having long seasons, but still going well." (T/T also competed at 4CC, etc.)
Seems that his good-natured comments probably could speak for plenty of other skaters too.

The coming season offers no rest for the wicked()/weary: The ISU has announced that the dates of the next WTT are April 11-14, 2013 ...

Well I guess it's great for the fans...more events....not so much for the skaters....perhaps we will see Weaver/Poje next year for Canada or even the Shibs next year for the US at WTT...because I can't see both D/W and V/M keeping up this pace....

ETA: I have met and seen Mervin Tran train here in Montreal and he is a great guy....
